I have the same issue here in South Africa our local online streaming service (DSTV Now & ShowMax) does not allow their content on rooted devices, thus I will be checking to see if I can UNROOT the ATV1900 Pro using the methods you describe here, and I am also going to try an app called universal unroot.

Also would be nice if MyGica would offer us 2 different firmware options one with root and one WITHOUT ROOT since some programs does not work on rooted devices (Some online content providers and online banking apps). And on the other hand some people prefer having their device rooted, thus it would seem that a good solution is to offer both variants in your firmware, or even provide a simple app to root/unroot your device.

Will update on what method worked in the end.

Method Followed to get ShowMax, Supersport and DSTV now (Full unroot) to work:

The App Universal Unroot did not work. Using the upgrade app DID NOT WORK

Really loving it. Thanks to all the support on this particular thread.

My device came out the box being able to use Netflix and Showmax but not DSTV Now.

I followed this thread, downloaded the firmware and patch and installed successfully but still can't get DSTV Now. I can verify that Kingo states now the device unrooted whereas before it would fail at 90%

Does anyone have an external *.apk link to the file to install DSTV Now I'd highly appreciate that.
